Suspect arrested Seattle bank robbery attempt

A 24-year-old man was arrested Tuesday morning for trying to rob a downtown Seattle KeyBank.

The man walked into the bank at 815 Second Ave. shortly after 11 a.m. and demanded money be put into a bag he was carrying, Detective Renee Witt said. The bank alarm company called 911 and provided the suspect’s description.

“After receiving cash, the suspect fled the bank,” Witt said in a statement. “Officers working directed hot spot patrols in the area saw the suspect exit the bank. The suspect was immediately contacted and arrested without incident.”

The FBI processed the scene and all the cash was returned to the bank. The suspect was booked into King County Jail.
